Countdown: Bush's Hissy Fit

icon Download | play   icon Download | play (h/t Bill)

On Tuesday's Countdown, Keith Olbermann looks once again at proof that the world's last remaining superpower is being run by a petulant child prone to temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way.

My buddy Bill reminded me when he sent the videos of this comment he made in the threads yesterday:

Despite all of the constant bashing of this Congress [not just from Bush but from the left as well] this has been the hardest working Congress in US history despite the Republicans blocking 3 times more bills than ever before including the  8 times the GOP has blocked the Democrats efforts to end the war so far.  

Which is all well and good, but right now, I think we have someone who needs a time out.

What,First?

The main reason this congress hasn't been able to pass much meaningful legislation is Bush vetoing every bill that doesn't exactly line up with his wishes. And to suggest that Congress wasted time by performing its constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities is simply ridiculous.

Somebody please impeach these clowns. Now.

I'd say the first congress was the hardest working actually...

so nancy, what's on gonna be on your thanksgiving day table?

kucinich is having impeachment, care to join him/us?

Anybody know what the reference to "door slamming" is about; i.e., literal, figurative?

Bush has had a stinky diaper all his life. He's one pissed off little
brat whose parents never put him through potty training. All he
does is stomp his sadistic little foot and the immoral republican
thieves come running. What an utter disgrace. He made me sick from
day one. I could feel what a punk he was. The most extreme example of failing upwards in the history of the world.

proud of nancy, maybe for the first time since she assumed that position. she was clear, strong and forthright in her denunciation of this pretend prez. now about that "...off the table." point regarding impeachment. put it back on and champion it and you will get a following that you won't believe.

Bush vetoes during the Repug led house and senate...a big fat ZERO!
Bush vetoes during the Dem led house and senate...shit-tons!
Watchin Kucinich rail against Bush and call for impeachment and defending the Constitution...PRICELESS!

Obstructionist Bush Dog Dems and their Republican Masters are doing everything they can to stop the will of the American public. What can a progressive do?

They might be the "...hardest working Congress in history" but until impeachment is put back on the table and seriously persued, they have failed us.

I'll have a thigh.

What a nasty little punk. Poor SOB has grown ups watching him, he can't get away with gutting the constitution any more, without someone telling on him. Jerk.

OK Ms. Pelosi, how about some firm action behind that firm talk?

Typical disgusting tactic.
Get them in before people can react and regardless of what the people want.
Then when people realize they have been screwed over, they again trap them by claiming they are against the troops and want their heroes losses to be in vain.

God I hate that guy.

Was it 50 or 70 million spent on the hunting of Clinton?

And Bush gives the nation its' biggest blow job in history.

t-bone @ 5:

Anybody know what the reference to "door slamming" is about; i.e., literal, figurative?

Last week, after returning from his photo-op at the California wildfires, Bush issued a short 'wah, Congress isn't doing what I want them to do' statement, then left the room - slamming the door behind him.

Impeachment would provide a "time-out" for the boy Bush.

Was "Bonehead" Boehner pulling the Shrub's strings during that talk?

In Busholini's world, checks & balances are a "waste of time". He is a waste of a "person".

When this turd was selected by his daddy's Supreme Court cronies, I was struck with a wave of nausea unlike ever before. But never in my wildest imagination did I think he would be THIS bad. He is light years worse than standard bad repug presidents like Reagan, Ford, and his daddy. Dr. Justin Frank's "Bush On The Couch" is a terrifying analysis of just what a socio/psychopath this guy is. He has spent his entire life as a booze and drug addled trust fund fuckup, ruining everything he's ever touched. From now on, I hope that we never elect another angry son of a lousy, detached, father who spends his whole life trying to prove to daddy and the world that he isn't really a loser and that his dick really is bigger than pop's. And I don't mean Cheney.

I hate this man

This is what I think Pelosi does well -- she is a good advocate for the Dems when she actually gets airtime. The problem is that she and Reid have chosen the "stall for time until the next election" strategy.

Perhaps I'm risk-averse, but I would much rather they spill the beans on this administration now, and take out any chance of Giuliani winning. I realize the calculation is that they can take the R's out for decades if they get full control after '08. But the best laid plans of senators and men oft. . .

And President Stompy's media nannies are still coddling his worthless Chickenhawk tushy from the big bad blogpeople asking questions. Booooooooo.

Impeach Bush & the vice president takes his place.
It's not going to happen anyway so give it up.

Petulant child? I was thinking more like a flailing arm chimp who had his banana taken away. The next best thing to chimpeachment is Bush staying in office making him the GOP poster child for 2008 and hopefully a few more of those RepubliCON thugs standing behind will be history as well.

Al @ #17 sums up my feelings exactly. One more year and we will be rid of this cancer then the long hard journey of picking up the pieces of our country begins.

Just sent the following email (through http://speaker.house.gov/) to Speaker Pelosi:

Dear Speaker Pelosi,

The country as a whole is overcome with pride at your remarks made yesterday in response to President Bush's press conference where he insulted and demeaned the United States Congress. It is a pleasure to see the Democratic Majority is finally starting to stand up to the bullying through which this President has been putting this country for almost 7 years.

Now it is time to put actions behind those words, and show the President and his Administration that the Congress will no longer lay down and submit to his whim and desire. It is time to show him that his actions against the good of the country -- and the will of the majority of its citizens -- have consequences.

It is time, Speaker Pelosi, to put impeachment back on the table. I understand that it is a fight no one wants to fight. I understand the political minefield that you may be put through. But the country has your back, Madame Speaker.

The Democrats were elected to the majority in both Houses of Congress, and you were elected Speaker of the House, because you promised that disciplinary actions would be taken in response to President Bush's abuse not only of the young men and women who are fighting and dying in a pointless war, but also of the monetary resources of our country that are being bled dry to continue that war.

It is time, Madame Speaker, to make good on those promises.

Champion this fight, and you will gain a following from the American people that would be beyond your imagination.

More importantly: champion this fight, and you will be able to sleep well at night, knowing that you are doing the right thing.

Sincerely,
[name]

When they trotted the coke snorting drunk out as their big hope for the candidacy back before the 2000 election I thought "No one is stupid enough to be blinded by the shine they put on that turd". And yet as soon as I had thought it I knew I was wrong. Money and nepotism will take you a loooooong way. How long? Look at the chimp. He rode that wave all the way to the presidency.
Which he immediately turned into the presiDUNCEy.
In the following years while his [paid] supporters have done everything except heft him on their shoulders and sing 'gawd save the king' I've watched in a kind of sickened silence. How could ANYone believe any of the crap the reich wants you to believe about shrub? You'd have to have a rock between your ears.
That he reads? That he isn't a draft dodging, awol, record hiding coward? That he's intelligent? That he has even the most remedial grasp of the actual situation in the middle east? That he has any knowledge at all of the rest of the planet that surrounds him and his little dictatorship? That he is capable of doing anything without first being told how by his handlers? That he isn't still a drunk? That he has a basic understanding of english? That he cares about anyone but himself? None of these things are true of the chimp posing as a human that the reich have elevated to the white house.
His stupidity is painfully obvious and always has been.
His cruelty, selfishness, petulance and evil are also obvious if you pause for five minutes to listen to him.

It's difficult to imagine what the reich wingers ever saw in their idiot-king, other than someone who would be easy to control and manipulate.
Now he's just an embarrassment they all wish they could forget.
An embarrassment we ALL wish we could forget.

I don't think there is a person on this planet who won't breathe a sigh of relief when shrub has finally been put out with the trash.

Does Pelosi even have a clue that "working bipartisanly" means "getting nothing done" means "thwarting the desire of their constituents" means "record low approval"? The Repug congress is now starting to reap the fruits of her "great work" and it will only get worse from here on out. Congratulations for screwing up, Nancy! /sarcasm

I read Bush's hissy fit yesterday and really, my first, second and subsequent actions were laughter. Here is this absolute bully/dictator storming about what he didn't get. Instead of talking about his famous "vetos" he framed it as a do nothing Congress. The man's arrogance defies all common logic---he vetos then blames the other side for lack of producing results.

What Bush is saying is "I want my rubber stamp, silent Congress back".

Well said Marge @ 33.

As far as "It’s difficult to imagine what the reich wingers ever saw in their idiot-king". What they saw is someone who would smite those homos, immigrants, and non-believers. In short they had their fears and prejudices played upon by the GOP and were coned into voting against there own best interests. You know what? They are just stupid enough to fall for it again. The reich wingers are going to drag this nation down to the depths of hell while claiming they are saving it from the leebruls.

bush is nothing more than a rancid absess of evil puss on the asshole of lucifer himself ...

Heh. Did you notice the couple of "freudian slips" Nancy almost said? Instead of "Congress", she almost said "commerce", and instead of "no bid contract", she almost said "no bid congress".

funkyfresh @ 40:

Heh. Did you notice the couple of "freudian slips" Nancy almost said? Instead of "Congress", she almost said "commerce", and instead of "no bid contract", she almost said "no bid congress".

Pelosi was also making remarks about the Consumer Product Safety Commission - I'm not sure if the two statements were at the same press availability.

This may very well be:

Despite all of the constant bashing of this Congress [not just from Bush but from the left as well] this has been the hardest working Congress in US history despite the Republicans blocking 3 times more bills than ever before including the 8 times the GOP has blocked the Democrats efforts to end the war so far.

Then those revolting douchebags should be straight up making this case instead of getting together only for pathetic displays like condemning millions of MoveOn voters or castigating Pete Stark for saying precisely that.

It took years to realize that my disenfranchisement didn't begin and end with Bush v. Gore in 2000. Dem leadership has been complicit in it since then. This Congress deserves every ounce of disgust rained upon it. It deserves to be despised for being half responsible for what may be the worst chapter in US history.

Maybe they should spend less time wringing their hands and scraping in the camera lights vowing that they want to work with the most loathed, dangerous domestic dictatorship ever and Don't Hit Us, Republicans NO Media, Mmmkay?

They are simply cowardly, backstabbing, greedy and untrustworthy and there's no getting around it.

funkyfresh @ 40:

Was it freudian or just a couple of Bushisms?

I saw his comments and couldn't help but laugh at the tone and words. Bush thought the "Do nothing Congress" was pretty much a great thing, but finds oversight to represent a Congress that is worthless. As with most comments, Bush's previous comments seem to conflict with his own logic. He has continually complained when Congress has held hearings, passed bills that he didn't like or dared to hold long confirment hearings. He then claims that they are the worst in decades despite the fact that he previously whined that they were going too far. He really needs to pick one.

Unlike the last Congress, we haven't had hearings or bills on pressing issues like flag burning, making English the official language or other nonsense. Most goofy acts such as condemning an advertisement have been Republican led, but Bush had no problem with that. While I don't always agree with what Congress does, to call them the worst in decades despite their record seems laughable, especially coming from Bush. He calls them fiscally irresponsible despite his record of spending that would match that of a crackhead with a stolen Gold Card.

This is just more fake outrage from America's notorious drama queen. As he has done in the past, he will drop all of his complaints if he simply gets his way and then accuse everyone else of political theatre despite that is all that he ever does.

Dennis Kucinich in '08. He's the only candidate that will hold these criminals to account.

I think of Busholini not only as an arm-flailing chimp, but a chimp who throws his doody at people when he gets upset.

Mike @ 27:

to me it's not about having enough votes to carry the impeachment, it's more about the dems having the internal fortitude to at least start the proceedings.

The dems can't even get enough votes to override Busholini's SCHIP veto. There's no way they're going to tie things up in Congress by introducing articles of CHIMPeachment.

I wonder though if there will even be an election in '08...these fascist don't seem like their gonna leave office when the term is up...I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

"His Petulance" may be a double-digit IQ, but with the price of oil soon to go over $100 a barrel, as far as the oil companies that put him in office in the first place are concerned, "Mission Accomplished" is a fact. The nuttier and the loonier him and Darth act, the better for the oil companies. The "risk premium" from all of that sabre-rattling is pure, unadulterated profit. Oil that comes from Africa, Mexico, or South America has that same "risk premium" added to it as oil from the Middle East. Don't forget, it was originally named Operation Iraqi Liberation - O.I.L.

I know it's a bit off-topic, but this is who pulls little Pinocchio's strings. Nancy and the Dems are a mere distraction for these people.

That's right Bushy. You're actually not world dictator. You actually are subject to congressional oversight. Not enough, but some. You should be thankful that Dick and Karl have taken steps to protect you. You could be whining about an impeachment vote right now.
Let me also add that you are a no good, whiney, spoiled piece of ****

BIG BOYS DONT CRY....

WHAT A PUSSY... anyone who is still listening to this windbag, douchebag, is simply NOT listening

-------------go edwards----------------go obama--------------GO GORE

watching pelosi's press conference about lead in toys from china, i couldn't help but wishing she would get that impassioned about impeachment. i listened to her speech and thought, 'just substitute 'impeachment' and 'bush' in the appropriate places, nancy.' wish the dems would grow a pair!

w is pathetic.

Watched Ron Paul on Leno last night .

Talk about cutting spending, he wants a flat tax.

Zero income tax.

Said there will be no pie of your money for the lobbyist to fight over. You keep your money, they waste on the empire building.

Mike @ 27:

Impeach Bush, and a very unpopular, very weak Dick Cheney takes his place.

I don't have much of anything nice to say about Bush or Pelosi.

Even if the House began impeachment proceedings, Bush will never be removed from office by the 50 vote republican minority in Congress. Wouldn't it be better to concentrate on delivering indictments based on investigations of this mal-administration? And if indictments are on the way, maybe they should be delivered after January 2008, so as to prevent Bush from pardoning everybody. I know that it would be fun to see Bush questioned in front of the Senate, but the republiclones would spend half the time blowing him, and half the time protesting the uncivil questions of the Democratic side, while simultaneously trumpeting this as a great distraction from fighting "islamofascism" on every news channel. And then the October surprise will be a terrorist attack that could have been foiled but for those bush hating congress critters who would rather hate bush than protect America. The attack would not even have to be on American soil, since Americans generally have no idea how to use a map or globe. Then Ghouliani would ride into the White House on a wave of righteous indignation over our inability to protect some Corporations interests somewhere in the world.

Nancy always talks about bi-partisanship, which sounds well and good, but the Dems are the only ones compromising. The press should have asked bush, while he was standing there after his repug only meeting, about bi-partisanship and then asked why there were no Dems at his little meeting. I hate it that the contradictions of what bush says is analyzed later instead of calling him on it right then and there.
I am pissed off too, that more hasn't been done by this Congress but at least I know that in part things haven't got passed because of the republicans who still back everything the idiot in chief wants. It's like a game to them. Their only goal is to make the Dems look bad. I don't think they even care what it is they are voting on just as long as they vote the opposite. There are a few exceptions like Hagel but not enough.
The rebublican party is so fucked up they don't know whether to "Scratch their watch or wind their butts". They don't mention bush in debates because they don't want to be associated with him and yet they still bend over for him every chance they get.

I don't know about Ron Paul...though if he's got his own party worried. Might be somethin there...if it came down to voting for him or hillary...not sure which way I'd go honestly...I wonder what a Kucinich/Paul WH would be like....

I meant to say "the 50 vote republican minority in the Senate"

Why anyone could believe a word that comes out of Bush's mouth baffles me. And Pelosi is not the leader that the Democrats or America needs in Congress. Kucinich '08.

Article II section 4 says, "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, SHALL be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." (Emphasis mine).

It does not say, "The President...may be removed."

Some discretion should be necessary for misdemeanors.

But for what booshco has done the process seems mandatory, and if Pelosi took it off the table she's failing to carry out her Constitutional dulty and should be impeached herself.

they have both acted in violation of the constitution. they can be simultaneously impeached, thus making nancyGirl the acting presnit.

This "going back and forth" is just going to continue on for another year. Bush has shown his unrelenting "My way or the highway attitude." And Congress is going to start digging in their own heels on issues. Nothing else much is going to happen. There will be attacks on both sides. On top of that all the rhetoric going back and forth between the candidates.

Impeachment is out of the picture. Most of the Congress doesn't want to drag the country through that during a war. Bush and Cheney will need to be implicated on something so huge it will leave little doubt to anyone they need to be impeached.

So for the next year it's all going to be hot air coming from the campaigns and Washington.

Bush's ratings are already low and Congress' ratings are lower then that. So expect more of the same "nothing" from these clowns. Hopefully they will just keep beating each other up till they all go down.

We should have taken the country back when the Congress and the President went on vacation in August.

Pelosi, after all this time, still doesn't have the script she needs. When Little Boots whines and stomps his feet about investigation, she is correct to point out that the investigation is about money, but she should say, "It's the TAXPAYERS' money," and drive home the point he's wasting our hard-earned money, that ordinary citizens don't have offshore tax benefits like Harken, and then for gawd's sake please point out the incredible number of investigations of the Clinton administration which they cooperated with every single one. They responded to every subpoena, and every single document request. But still the Repubs hounded them, and the end result? No fault found, and the conclusion was made by a Repub.

I digress. Ms. Pelosi, please visit C&L, we have all kinds of rant soapboxes for you to stand on if you really want to make the case against bush and for Americans.

All the Constitution is saying is they must be removed if they are convicted in the Senate after being impeached in the House. Just as a prosecutor has discretion on whether s/he will prosecute any crime or not, Congress has the same right. There is NO "Constitutional dulty [sic]" that they impeach anyone on any grounds. It is their right, their choice to pursue, but not a duty. Yes the House could impeach them both (if the Dem Bush/Blue Dogs would go along] but they would NEVER be able to get the 67 votes in the Senate to convict, and it would be the biggest frickin political mistake ever made to allow this Bush regime to be vindicated by a surefire acquittal in the Senate.

That's what would happen. When they fail to get 67 votes in the Senate after an impeachment it is an acquittal, just like what happened to Clinton. Bushco and the Republicans would see that as a vindication. It would be a complete waste of time and be counter-productive.

Anyway that's a nice trait.

wild idea @ 80:

A wild idea, and outside of this topic but it would show how extreme Bush can be:

1. Laura Bush is assassinated say in 2008
2. Public support for Bush rise to post 9-11 level.
3. In grief Bush imposed national emergency and curfew, constitution and civil rights begone!!!
4. Pundits begin pointing finger at Al-Qaeda work.
5. Bush and Cheney declared war on Iran and the entire muslim world
6. The 3rd crusade has begun

and when the dust settled it was discovered that

1. Cheney has planned the assassination on Laura Bush
2. A Blackwater para-military unit is the henchmen that did the assassination on Laura Bush.

Sounds far fetched, but is entirely plausible.

Geeez, I thought LSD was out of vogue.

Skip impeachment... let's just get them one of those fancy CIA plane rides to France(the first stop on the way to the Hague), maybe we can talk Rummy into going along for the ride... the people in France have an open invitatoin to all of them.
Please come and claim your "Extrordinary Rendition" vacation.
It is very sad to think that the rest of the world is going to have to gang up on these criminals to put a stop to them, because our own Congress has abdicated their Constitutional resposibilities.

I'll go further. Even if a prosecutor is convinced someone is guilty of a crime, they are guilty of gross malpractice if they bring a case that they know will not result in a conviction. They can even lose their law license for doing so.

Likewise, Congress should never try an impeachment unless it is at least plausible that they could get the 67 votes in the Senate to convict. I agree there are plenty of grounds to warrant impeaching Bush and Cheney, but there are not the votes. They would need a full 1/3 of all Republicans in the Senate to go along. That is an impossibility.

I liked Olbermann’s opening observation of, "Despite all of the constant bashing of this Congress [not just from Bush but from the left as well]" – I found it particularly piquant and perspicuous.

There comes a point when we progressives have got to stop w/ the “circular firing squad” … unless we really just enjoy playing the self-righteous martyrs for 4 or 8 more years.

ah yes Olbermann. on MSNBC. Whos owned by GE one of the worst war profiteers on the planet... How "liberal"...So do you Like corruption? Do you like being powerless?

Olbermann is no different then Bill Oreally. Just a different format/audience. It's all nonsense.

The way things have gone and are going: Pelosi will be making an apology later this week... with tears in her eyes.

If not - does it signal a beginning of a new stalwart Congress? THAT would be a grand and unexpected surprise.

No... I think it is more posturing - and the Republicans will again get the upper hand as they put to bear the corporate interests to exact their toll or not let this go..

That's just a sorry comment on what America has become. We don't speak up for things we know are right or wrong unless we have popular support.

Put the matter forward and let the vote take place.

Ah, yes. Of course, you're one of those enlightened souls who is using the part of the Internets that wasn't a DARPA project, powered by electricity generated by a bunch of Buddhist monks peddling bicycles or something.

The difference with Olbermann is that he does not claim nor expect his viewers to take his words as 100% unvarnished truth.

And if it's nonsense, why, exactly, are you here?

That's messed up, bro

They might be the "...hardest working Congress in history" but until impeachment is put back on the table and seriously persued, they have failed us.

Yes, and they need to be strong on all the Constitutional issues, not pick and choose so they can keep pulling in corporate money.

Assassination talk is banned...Edited...

Yes, Bush seems to be all politics, all of the time. Remember, he has these wonderful advisors that pretty much tell him what to say, so it isn't all Bush. That, of course, is very telling about his advisors...they must be considered as guilty as Bush when it comes to breaking laws and formulating stupid plans. Having said that, however, as they said in Forrest Gump - "Stupid is as stupid does.", and there is no end to the stupid coming out of this white house.

Forget about impeachment that would be playing into the hands of thr repukes it would get nonstop airplay on riechwing radio, tv and print about how the dems are playing politics. Just resign yourselves to the fact that the truth will never come out but bush's presense in office his meltdown witch is starting to show is the best weapon the dems have keep challenging him investigating etc. etc. until he yells on camera and has a dean moment. The dems are playing it perfectly for them. Not necessarrily for the country witch needs a speedy removal of the chimp.

The Chimp shows he is nothing more than a man-child, a wannabe boy-king, with the fit he threw yesterday. The Dems need to remain strong and not cave to the Chimp's childish temper tantrums like they have in the past.

It's hard to imagine a more cynical political strategy than trying to hold hostage funding for our troops in combat...

Imagine this, Chimp: You and your cronies stole two elections and you've shredded our Constitution so that you can become dictator.

Nothing is more cynical that what you did. Nothing.

Lock Bush and Cheney up and throw away the keys.

Chip @ 68:

Impeachment is out of the picture. Most of the Congress doesn't want to drag the country through that during a war. Bush and Cheney will need to be implicated on something so huge it will leave little doubt to anyone they need to be impeached.

What you say? You don't make sense.

Drag the country? Something hugh?

GMAFB.

This guy is a complete lunatic. He no doubt has a hammer-lock on the title 'worst president ever'.

I can think more cynical than that. Imagine an administration that is in charge during the biggest security blunder in US history which lead to a terrorist attack which killed thousands of innocent Americans, and the party who was in charge while that happened using the tragedy for political gains, having the president selling pictures of him flying over the wreckage of 9/11 for a pretty penny during a campaign fund raiser, and not content with exploiting the thousands of lives for petty political gains the offending party in this whole mess gets to host the convention in the same city, on the same month 3 years after 9/11.

And wasn't that convention protested by over 100,000 people, and got NO media coverage?

Mr. President your term in office has been a WASTE of TIME. Time that you could have used to make this world a better place to live. Wasted time in your illegal war has caused more harm and cost more money and blood of our people.

There no way, no amount of MEN who stood behind you that could bring that WASTED time back. You have done the DAMAGE single-handedly with YOUR so called; leadership?

I am having a reluctant calling IT even a leadership. You are a LEADER in name only who has no characteristic of a leadership. A Faux sir is what you are.

IF you just stood firm and remained silent like a statue and done NOTHING since you became President, we would have been better off than where WE are today.

What a SHAME..........You are Your MOTHER's SON.

Hate does not begin to describe my feelings on Bush. He is truly evil and his supporters as well, either that or incredibly f*cking stupid.

I was saying pretty much the same thing yesterday, and got a an evil glare from two guys nearby...and a few months ago, I would have stopped bashin bush...but I got louder and kept goin on about how he and his cronies and the people who got him in office have ruined this country. They left soon after.

In essence, Nancy is saying, "No, no, we can't stop the murderous occupation but, lookee! We're hassling our hearts out to get some coverage for your little uninsured cannon fodder."

I think Pelosi took impeachment off the table since she'd be next in line for Presidency and it would at least look like a conflict of interest if not actually be one. She can't promote it even tho this country desperately needs to rid itself of these criminals.

ANY Speaker of the House is the next in line if both the President and Vice President are removed from office or otherwise incapacitated.

'Pelosi becomes the President,' while factual, is a booga-booga scare line.

He wants a blank check for Iraq, he wants a blank check for Iran. He wants a blank check period. This guy's whacked totally.

Kudo's to K.O., Nancy P. and C&L for this footage. Missed Countdown and appreciated getting the critical issues of the day details here on the web.

What? Is Pelosi the only one in that predicament since the beginning of this democracy? It still no excuse.

If she can't do the job then get the hell out.

The speaker of the house and the senate majority leader should make a joint statement about how disappointed they are that all of the hard bipartisan work being done in Congress is being vetoed by a petulant, immature, inhumane and incredibly stubborn president. He is the one wasting the country's time with his nonsense. Sign the bills, Mr. President. You are not an emperor... you don't get to have everything your way.

Bush has the nerve to mention injured Vets when he has done absolutely nothing to fix Walter Reed or the VA Medical System. Pathetic, absolutely sickening excuse for a President and human being you are mr. bush.

It would be a circular firing squad if the Dem congresscritters were actually our own - if they really represented us.

But instead they cowtow to the Repugs and against 70% of the population in the name of "bipartisanship". And whine about the requests of their own base. They have practically given the Repugs the ammunition with which to attack them by being weak failures, by not playing hard ball.

Trust me, if you think these opening salvos by Bush were bad, wait until closer to the election, when they will get much worse. All because the Dem congress has allowed themselves to be failures.

sofla @ 2:

The main reason this congress hasn't been able to pass much meaningful legislation is Bush vetoing every bill that doesn't exactly line up with his wishes. And to suggest that Congress wasted time by performing its constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities is simply ridiculous.

Somebody please impeach these clowns. Now.

Impeaching George W. Bush would make Dick Cheney the new President of the United States.

Just sayin'.

If everyone in the United States and around the world knows that what Bush has done is far worse that what Nixon did, why is Bush still in office? I know he laughed about being a dictator but America is not laughing. I know he continues to authorize torture but America and the entire world is disgusted.

Jesus God. What an idiot.

'Dr. Justin Frank’s “Bush On The Couch” is a terrifying analysis of just what a socio/psychopath this guy is'
Not much more unethical than analyzing a subject one has never met, let alone interviewed. "Dr." Frank should be more concerned with the trust-fund whiners that pay his rent.
Overall this whole thread is a telling collection of hissy fits in support of Edward R. Murrow-wanna'-be Olbermann, who has made a career of hissy fits after proving his ignorance of sports.
If he's so concerned about power mad despots, why doesn't he take a look at Iran or Venezuela?
Answer: repercussions. Like rosie o'donnell, he's a passive aggressive bully who reserves his potshots for those who have more important things to do than fire back. Face to face with O'Reily, he'd shrivel up and blow away with the wind as Krugman does or as rosie did when Ms. Hasselbeck challenged her ignorant comments (which rosie tried to weasel out of).
Maybe Olbermann can get together with rosie's bodyguards and go draw a mustache on posters of Bush.
If Bush's America were half as fascist as some seem to think, this thread wouldn't be here.

Stop invoking God, you don't need a "God" as there's no such entity.
Invoke reason, make the system work instead of whining.
Bush is a perv, he likes to hear you whine.

Perhaps you missed that I said "Impeach these clowns" PLURAL... Impeach Cheney first, that one is a slam dunk. Then Bush.

Guys, this reporter obviously had an agenda in how he reported this story and looks like you commentators bought it all. This is so one-sided that it's not "news," it's a political ad.
I opened this expecting to see something with some action. There was nothing. It's your anger with this President that makes it seem "petulant" to you.
Wisdom, on these issues, sides with Mr. Bush.

You can vote for whether or not you feel Bush is th eworst Pres ever...

Are you kidding me? This congress is a joke. The Democratic party is just hanging out a little bit right-of-center and Nancy Pelosi, who could have been a real revolutionary and made real leaps in gender equality is a misguided stooge at best. She has failed to do anything but inflame, and not even for the right reasons.

NCBlueneck @ 51:

"His Petulance" may be a double-digit IQ, but with the price of oil soon to go over $100 a barrel, as far as the oil companies that put him in office in the first place are concerned, "Mission Accomplished" is a fact. The nuttier and the loonier him and Darth act, the better for the oil companies. The "risk premium" from all of that sabre-rattling is pure, unadulterated profit. Oil that comes from Africa, Mexico, or South America has that same "risk premium" added to it as oil from the Middle East. Don't forget, it was originally named Operation Iraqi Liberation - O.I.L.

I know it's a bit off-topic, but this is who pulls little Pinocchio's strings. Nancy and the Dems are a mere distraction for these people.

Most of Yr. Energy, Sunshine, comes from "Soviet Canuckistan" and we're raising the rates.

Ok....129, and 131...Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit!

Jim at 129...you work for fox or something? Olberman's "agenda" is simply to expose tell the truth, unlike the reichwing media...I can't believe you put the word "wisdom" in the same sentence as bushy...lmmfao!!!
Al at 131...hasn't he vetoed every bill since the dems took the house and senate? Or have I missed something?

So, yeah. Bush's little bubble comes as no surprise to me. After all, the only people who can take bullshit are, in fact, bullshitters.

It's sad, I mean, REALLY sad to see the President of the United States acting like such a little kid who didn't get the Christmas gift they wanted. So ending the Iraq War and conducting congressional oversight is a "waste of time"? No, Mr. Bushynuts. Your incompetence and selfishness is a waste of our national intelligence.

You are not people you are sheeple. Pinko-Commie liberal idiots

Nobody is going to end the war in Iraq, not even a democrat president or congress. It is too crucial to our national security. Deal with reality, you anti-war losers.
Also, in 20 years have the guts to admit you were 100% wrong.

I personally loved the tantrum,the only thing that was missing were the crocodile tears.Baby Bushkins should have been spanked and put into his room, tightly locked and not be reopened until after January '09.

Wait. Who is actually surprised that Bush has veteoed Dem bills? Oh my god! I'm shocked, shocked to hear this.

Come on guys and girls, what sense does it make to criticise the President for veteoing things he doesn't like? It is his constitutional perogative.

And how can the Congress be so hard working, if they haven't pass any meaning ful legislation. No appropriation bill. No anything.

Sure Bush is veto heavy these days (again, no surprise), but if the Dems could stop yelling and stomping their feet with equal tantrum, they could try to pass some softer version of their bills. Its called a compromise, and we've been doing it whenever we had a pres and congress with different sides.

Get over it.

OMG BUSH IS HORRIBLE! Why is this guy still the President?!?! Do we REALLY HAVE to deal with this crap for another year?!?! January 2009 couldn't come fast enough...

its not just bush. Congress could stop the war if they wanted to, they dont. Just like clinton said, obama, pratically everyone wants to bomb iran. The thought that this is a democrat , republican issue is what shows the level of ignorance anywhere.

Can we not as people who are supposed to be somewhat civilized understand that the two party's are the same socialist monster? Does anyone find it interesting that everyone wants to bomb iran with a nuclear weapon?

Does anyone know that in order for a war to be proper it has to be declared by congress? Does anyone here like the idea of not dying for profit in the military industrial complex?

The usa is a crap game controlled by 2 parties that are identical. wake up

Impeachment would be a good start, but make sure its a simultaneous impeachment hearing for Bush, Cheney and a few of his brownies. Afterwards, jail time for multiple breaches of the Constitution should do nicely ... either that, or he can stand in front of the United Nations for War Crimes and torture of foreign citizens.

to the bush supporters,

o I count maybe 4 or 5 of you on a list w/ 135 other commentators, who disagree, so maybe your opinions are worth 25 times as much,

o The arguments/opinions of how Bush is doing a good job/vs bad job heavily favour the latter in public polls, forget even the bad, what GOOD things has Bush done? I'm am actually interested in what those points would be.

o about the war, that if I am correct you support because you support Bush not the facts, so what is he right about? wasn't the war started on the threat of terrorism? the whole wmd and nuclear program information that was not the case? Bin Laden is still out there, why do you forgive Bush for not bringing him to justice? wouldn't you if you were president want to find him, wouldn't it be an honor to give some sense of closure to your country? Iraq had nothing to do with that, had no wmd's and no nuclear capability. surely you should be 99.99 % sure that that is the case before you invade someone, because if the roles were reversed, and you were in the place of Iraq, wouldn't you feel hatred to an invading force? We all know Saddam was no angel, but that is another issue, not the basis of what started the war.

that is my rational questioning, my emotional side cries for the lives of soldiers that I feel were sacrificed, by poor judgement (and my worst fear being that it was done for the self serving purpose of a select few, under a lie) when someone says to me, look I am here to protect you, with my life, I can not write words to convey the sense of love I have for a person willing to do that, for me, my family, my friends, and my way of life. Then there is the commander who sends this person into a war, to die, needlessly, needlessly, needlessly, they gave service to protect lives with their own, and that was manipulated, and they were sent to their deaths, that dear Bush supporters, makes me outraged to a point where I would give anything to give something back to those soldiers to make up the wrong that was done to them. To bring to justice the one that put them to slaughter. But Bush stands still, you say history will prove him right, but the last few years of history only proves him more and more wrong, the future will be far harsher, and that opinion will stand as stigmatized as the then supporters of the nazi's are now. will you mark your names down that history might judge you the only people who were right. I believe that notion should cause you fear.

When this turd was selected by his daddy's Supreme Court cronies, I was struck with a wave of nausea unlike ever before. But never in my wildest imagination did I think he would be THIS bad. He is light years worse than standard bad repug presidents like Reagan, Ford, and his daddy. Dr. Justin Frank's "Bush On The Couch" is a terrifying analysis of just what a socio/psychopath this guy is. He has spent his entire life as a booze and drug addled trust fund fuckup, ruining everything he's ever touched. From now on, I hope that we never elect another angry son of a lousy, detached, father who spends his whole life trying to prove to daddy and the world that he isn't really a loser and that his dick really is bigger than pop's. And I don't mean Cheney.

I truly believe these killers are not going anywhere in '08. I think they will declare a national emergency and will cancel the election. Get ready for the real Bush Dictatorship.
